"What's so good about the son of the village party secretary? In the final analysis, he's not the village head's mud-legged guy who can have any future."

"Don't let Zhu Yuan hear this, she expects this man to be the mayor."

"Haha, that's ridiculous. She died so early in the morning as the mayor of the town. She's still here to enforce the hereditary system. He's not even worthy of being the village party secretary."

"Speaking of which, I saw her looking for you the day before yesterday. Did she try to match you again?"

"Yeah, but I scolded him away."

"You have to be careful. Zhu Yuan is no longer the same as us. If she deliberately lets you be alone with a man, it will be troublesome."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I asked Song Wen to wait at the door."

"Hey, when will these days end? There are endless farm work to do every day, and there are endless nights to worry about."

As they talked, the little girls sighed dejectedly: "When can we go home?"

"Perhaps, I can help you."

At this moment, a clear female voice sounded.

Everyone was frightened and turned around to see the female doctor in military uniform smiling at them.

She was like a big cat hiding in the cotton bushes, her position was secretive and silent. If she hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed.

"You...you...when did you come, and...how much...did you hear!"

Song Wei showed her face: "No more, no less, just right. But don't worry, I won't tell the truth. In fact, I'm here to help you."

"You help us?" Everyone looked suspicious.

"You don't believe in me, but you have to believe in my uniform, right? People's soldiers will not sit idly by and ignore the suffering people."

In this era, people have unprecedented admiration and trust in soldiers. Soldiers are superheroes in their eyes.

After hearing Song Wei's words, everyone's eyes turned red instantly.

"Can you really take us home? But... our registered residence has been transferred to the village. Even if we leave, our registered residence will still be here, and we will still have to come back sooner or later."

"Yeah, if we can leave, why bother staying here."

The hopes raised by everyone were gradually extinguished by reality.

"You don't have to worry about this. Since I boasted about Haikou, I will naturally have a way to help you leave. But on the contrary, you have to tell me everything that happened here, and when I need you, you have to stand up bravely. If you can Yes, come to the haunted house tonight."

"Haunted...haunted house..." The girls' expressions changed again and again: "Can... can we change to another place?"

Everyone was worried about Ning Yun's death, and they really didn't want to go to that house again, lest they get hurt.

"If you don't even dare to take this step, how can I trust you to stand up at the critical moment? How can I take you away if you don't stand up?

All in all, you have an afternoon to think about it, and I believe you will make the right choice.

But before that, I need you to show a little sincerity. Who else in this village was forced to get married? Could you please give me a list? "

The educated youths looked at each other, and finally announced some people's names as if they had made some important decision.

Song Wei nodded and retreated back the same way. Only the educated youths were left here unable to calm down for a long time.

Generally speaking, there are two types of educated youth going to the countryside, one is to jump in the queue and the other is to work on the farm.

Educated youth who jump in line need to share limited resources with local farmers, which is quite hard. Educated youth who go to farms receive a fixed salary every month, and the amount varies depending on the location.

The educated youth in Qingcun are obviously queue-jumpers. They need to share limited resources with the farmers in the village. They get as many work points as they do and eat as much rice as they get.

Who went to the countryside back then and wasn’t very proud? However, the reality is cruel.

When everyone woke up and wanted to go back, they found that they couldn't go back.

It was not until the late 1970s that a large number of educated youth returned to the city.

However, during this period, it is not that there is no way to return to the city. It is just that it is more difficult for people in places with limited information or people who have no connections at home.

As for this method, recruitment, medical discharge, transfer, transfer, military service, etc., there are all kinds of methods, it all depends on whether you are capable enough.

The so-called recruitment, for example, when the factories in Jin'a Line need a large number of workers, educated youths can also sign up, provided that the village committee releases them.

As for illness recovery, as the name suggests, you can leave if you are seriously ill and need to return to the city for treatment.

Transfer, for example, if parents retire and their parents' positions need to be inherited by their children, they can be transferred back to the city.

Transfer means transferring from here to another village. However, the rural areas nowadays are pretty much the same. You have to work wherever you go. Moreover, if you transfer to another village, you have to ask the other village to be willing to take you in if you want the village to let you go. There are no connections. It cannot turn.

As for joining the army, this is a method that many people have followed in the past two years. Every time there is a military conscription, a large number of educated youths sign up to use this as a springboard to escape the fate of becoming an educated youth, but the prerequisite is still a letter of introduction from the village committee.

If you are lucky and go to a sensible rural area, it will not be a problem for the village committee to let you go.

But for those like Qingcun who wanted female educated youths to stay as wives, it was obviously impossible for the girls to get letters of introduction and leave.

But now the situation is different. Ning Yun, Lin Xiangping and other victims are here. As long as Lu Jiu brings the police over, the educated youth will definitely be able to return to the city immediately. Not only that, those who participated in violent forced marriages will also be punished.

But the premise is that someone is willing to testify.

If Lin Xiangping was the only one, the most he could do was punish the Tu family.

Song Wei, who was carrying the list at this time, planned to find these people and do some ideological work for them before Lu Jiu came back.

Theoretically speaking, when ordinary people encounter this kind of situation, they will definitely call the police and use the law to protect themselves.

However, this is an era that seems to be open, but in fact, chastity and integrity are important.

Although everyone is shouting "Free love! Reject parents' arranged marriage!"

But the concept of chastity is still the bottom line for women.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many educated youths who get married after suffering a loss.

Just as Lin Xiangping was worried just now, this is not just a concern for her alone, but also a concern for women of this generation.

What's more, many of these people have already given birth to babies.

Even if they are not married, they are married and have children. To ask them to testify against their in-laws at this time is to disrupt their lives again. It does not matter if they are disrupted. What is difficult to accept is that they have to show their bloody wounds in front of everyone.

In this world, there are far more people who point fingers and make irresponsible remarks than sympathize and pity. Speaking out just makes life more difficult.

And how will they deal with themselves in the future?

Throw away the children born in the village and return to the city alone? Or should he break up with his in-laws and send them to prison, while he continues to live in the village for the sake of his children?
